Chapter 731: Metamorphosis

The old knife group, who was moving things, was startled by the sudden gunshot, and they all looked back at me, and someone stammered and asked, "Wang...... Wang Huan...... How did you kill people, so that we are not at a loss?"

I said coldly: "I don't need to reason with anyone now, in a while, you send a letter to the research institute, and ask them to directly warn the headquarters of the Divine Explorer, and hand over the murderer who instructed the disciples of the Nameless Sect to attack and kill me, otherwise, the research institute will not give up." ”

The member of the group who was talking to me suddenly had his eyes lit up and left in a hurry. I sent the news back to the research institute, and the institute itself would not give me much help, but the direct director of the research institute was Chen Wen, and Chen Wen had to retreat even if it was the five major sects.

If you want to take advantage of the situation to suppress people, then borrow a force that makes Tanshen's hands tremble, otherwise, it is better not to borrow.

I ignored how the research institute negotiated with the detectives, and rushed back to the barracks with all the materials in the station.

When I was in the fifth branch of the Divine Exploration Hand, I knew that each branch of the Divine Detective Hand had the habit of collecting legends.

The collection of legends is generally done by a number of stations under the jurisdiction of the branch, which are equivalent to offices or halls. They will divide each valuable legend into three parts, except for one for the station, and report the other two copies to the branch, which will then determine the value of the legend and report it to the headquarters, or explore it themselves.

I just knocked out one of the stations of the Detective Hand, which saved me a lot of trouble.

The information of the Divine Explorer really gave me a surprise: "You see, there is a legend about Wang Zhi here. ”

"Legend has it that Wang Zhi was able to crisscross the sea without scruff because he raised a dragon. Every time he goes into battle, Jiaolong will hide under his flagship and kill the enemy with him, which is what he can rely on to show his might in front of the Franc Pirates. ”

Ye Xun also took a copy of the information and said: "And here, this information says that Wang Zhi is the owner of the Five Peaks because he controls five extremely terrifying warships. ”

"Legend has it that there are no living people on these five warships, and no one has ever boarded the Wufeng ship except Wang Zhi himself. Every time there is a big battle, the Wufeng ship will mysteriously appear, and after the big war, it will mysteriously disappear. ”

"Jiaolong, Wufeng Boat!" I muttered: "Modern people's understanding of Jiaolong is that it is a dragon that has not yet been formed, but the concept of Jiaolong in ancient times is very broad, big snakes, crocodiles, and even relatively large fish can be called Jiao. ”

I looked at the information and said, "Could that Jiaolong of Wang Zhi be a big python?"

Ye Xun shook his head and said, "Probably not, pythons don't live in the sea." If it's a large sea snake...... No way!"

Ye Xun quickly overturned his thoughts: "It is impossible for the sea snake to overturn the warship, that Jiaolong should be something else." This is at least an important clue, though. At the very least, we can be sure that there is some kind of mysterious power around Wang Zhi. ”

I nodded, "What else is on the paper?"

Ye Xun said: "There is also one point mentioned in the information, that is, after Wang Zhi's death, his Wufeng ship never appeared again. Legend has it that the Wufeng boat was originally an immortal ship, and it was a thing given to him by the immortals on the sea who had a relationship with Wang Zhi in his previous life. After Wang Zhi's death, the Wufeng boat was taken away by the immortals. ”

Ye Xun paused for a moment and said: "There is also a legend that Wang Zhi befriended the demon king of the sea by chance and got the Wufeng ship from him. However, every year, a huge amount of treasure has to be given to the demon king. ”

"In order to kill Wang Zhi, the imperial court deliberately deceived a heavenly master into the sea and killed the demon king. Wang Zhi's Wufeng ship was gone, and it was captured by the imperial court. ”

I narrowed my eyes and said, "All the legends revolve around the mysterious power around Wang Zhi, which means that Wang Zhi's domination of the sea back then may have involved some secrets. Otherwise, the Explorer wouldn't have collected his lore. ”

I continued, "But this secret is only in the hands of Wang Zhi. After his death, no one inherited this secret, and there were no pirates in the coastal areas who could reach the same level as Wang Zhi. ”

I said in a deep voice: "Wufeng Ship, Jiaolong should be the secret of Wang Zhi's domination of the sea. Did the Old Knife Group find the secret room?"

I know that there is an unwritten rule that the Explorers are not a legend that they will not report. If you report the wrong information and waste the manpower of the probe, not only will you not be rewarded, but you will also be punished. Therefore, when he collects legends, he will also collect corresponding evidence.

The scouts of each station do not keep the information very closely. After all, legends can be found by just asking, and they don't need to be on guard.

However, what corroborates the legend is different, and the detective hand must be kept closely.

Ye Xun said: "It seems to be mentioned in the information that they have found a secret box about Wang Zhi, waiting for me to find it." ”

Ye Xun and Li Kitten quickly turned out a trap box from the loot, Ye Xun took the trap box and frowned: "This trap box is equivalent to an ancient password lock, it's not easy to get!"

I glanced at the box and frowned.

The trap box, which is divided into two parts, obviously has a self-destructing device, and if you are not careful, not only will you not be able to get the secret in the box, but even the person who picks the lock is easy to die on the spot.

But the lock on the box made me frown: "Is this a lock?"

I couldn't figure out what was going on with the ten-way keyhole on the lid.

Li Sha, the deputy head of the Seven Stars, said softly: "Leader, do you want us to find a perspective device to take a look inside, maybe." ”

"No!" I shook my head and said, "You don't understand the horror of Huaxia secret arts, and if you rashly see through the secret box, you may get into trouble." ”

Li Sha couldn't help but pout, obviously not agreeing with my statement.

At this time, Lao Sha, the deputy leader of the old knife group who had not spoken, spoke: "Wang Huan, how about I take a look?"

After making a gesture of please, I made way for Lao Sha.

Lao Sha has reached the age of more than fifty years old, and he has been mixed in the hands of Tanshen all his life, so he can be regarded as well-informed, and when the fox mother was leaving, she also told me to listen to Lao Sha's opinion.

Lao Sha walked to the secret box and flipped it left and right a few times and said, "This is the Seven Words Secret Lock." We didn't find the key!"

I asked rhetorically, "What do you mean by the Seven Words Lock?"

Lao Sha pointed to the square hole on the box and said: "The so-called seven-word secret lock is a hole slot that is enough to put a seven-word poem, as long as it is like movable type printing and typesetting, the lock can be opened by putting the word block in according to a seven-word poem." ”

"Generally speaking, the Seven Words Secret Lock has twenty-eight slots, but there are too many slots on this box. ”

I roughly counted the top of the box, and on it, there was a square of seven squares horizontally and vertically.

That is to say, the seven-character poem can be placed horizontally or vertically, starting from one side or in the middle, which is equivalent to increasing the difficulty of unlocking.

I subconsciously said: "Unlock the password, if it's a seven-word poem, it's fine, but if it's a five-word poem, it's even more troublesome." ”

The kitten nodded and said, "If it's a five-word poem, then there are several more ways to place it, and it's ......."

Lao Shadao: "This is not the most difficult, the most difficult thing is that we don't know which poem the other party is setting." I didn't get the lead blocks to arrange the poems, who knows, whether those lead blocks are long or short!"

I couldn't help but gasp, looking at it this way, it would be so hard to open the secret box without a clue.

Ancient poetry reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty, which does not mean that there were no outstanding poems in other eras. There are hundreds of well-known poems alone, but what about the more obscure poems?

Besides, who can be sure that the answer to the secret lock is a famous article? What if it is made up by Wang Zhi himself, what if he makes up limericks?

Or is the seven-word code not poetry at all, but a few words?

I walked around the room twice with my hands behind my back: "Did you find the relevant lead ingots?"

"No!" Lao Sha shook his head and said, "The entire station has been searched by us, and there is no lead ingot with words anywhere." I guess the detectives at the station didn't find the lead ingots, so they didn't report the secret box. ”

I shook my head and said, "No, they should have found the lead ingot, otherwise, the sect disciples would not have appeared in the station, and even if they came, there would not have been so many people." ”

The process of the old knife group fighting with the disciples of the Nameless Sect, I took a general look, several of them are quite skilled, without the suppression of Ye Xun and Li Xiaomei, they can definitely cause casualties to the old knife group, even if those people are not the core disciples of the Nameless Sect, they must be the elite among them.

The disciples of the sect who probed the gods have always looked down on Qingfeng, and they have never participated in the matter of collecting intelligence, and letting them enter the station is tantamount to depreciating their own value. Without the order from above, the sect disciples would not appear.

The old knife shook his head and said, "I don't understand this." ”

I walked a few steps and said, "Ye Xun, you contact the intelligence officers on the periphery, you must find out as soon as possible, the purpose of the Nameless Sect." ”

"Li Xiaomei, you can help me collect the information about the pirates after Wang Zhi's death, the more detailed the better. ”

"Lao Sha, you take someone to look around to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net, and if there is, catch me back immediately. ”

I gave three orders in a row before I stopped, and Li Sha said again: "Wang Huan, since you can't find the clue for the time being, why don't you try to see through the box, which is much better than you looking for it without a purpose." ”

"No!" I shook my head, "Exploring the gods is not as simple as you think, and rashly conducting perspective is likely to cause unnecessary trouble, and you must not do that unless you have to." ”

Seeing that I insisted, Li Sha didn't say anything more, and I picked up the box again and looked into the opening with the Ghost Pupil Secret Technique.

The openings on the secret box are all iron, and if they are rubbed a few times, they should leave corresponding traces, and I don't believe that with the Ghost Pupil Secret Technique, you can't see the clues in it.
